Alan King Stable Tour

Form profile

Winner of seven of his 28 starts and currently rated 90 on the Flat. Ran his best race this season at Newbury (1m 2f) this month when fifth, beaten two and three quarter lengths, to Ilaraab at Newbury (1m 2f) this month off his current mark.

Trainer says

The old boy was much happier in his last run at Newbury where we stepped him up to a mile and a quarter again. He finished the race off very well and was beaten a head for fourth. We look as though we are back on track and I will try and find him a decent mile and a quarter or even a mile and three handicap in the next month. If we get a bit more rain, he will be even better on it.

Form profile

Winner of two of her 14 starts and currently rated 86. Has been placed in four of her 5 starts this season and runner-up, beaten three and a quarter lengths, to Folk Dance at Newmarket (1m 4f) this month off her current mark.

Trainer says

She has been running terrifically all season and it looked as though we bumped into one in David Simcock’s filly at Newmarket. It looked like she had just joined in at halfway but we beat the others well enough and I would love to get her head in front before the end of the season.

Form profile

Winner of six of his 36 starts and currently rated 94. Gained his most prestigious success when scoring by a length from Verdana Blue in the Ascot Stakes at Royal Ascot (2m 4f) in June off a mark of 91.

Trainer says

He is fine, and I did have him entered last week for the Cesarewitch Trial, but I just felt the ground was too quick. He will go straight for the Cesarewitch and we would like a bit of rain before then just to take the sting out of the ground for him. He has been a marvellous servant really and it was great to see him get his head in front at Royal Ascot.

Form profile

No wins from 2 starts and currently rated 75. Finished third, beaten five and three quarter lengths, to Longlai at Salisbury (1m) this month.

Trainer says

He has had two run and finished third at Salisbury last time out. He has a nursery mark of 75 and I think he will probably go to Nottingham on Sunday. Whether that will be his last run of the season we will see but he certainly won’t have many more this season. I think he is a very exciting horse for further down the line.

Form profile

Winner of one of her 4 starts and currently rated 79. Off the mark with a half length victory from Galah at Beverley (7 1/2f) in July and runner-up, beaten a nose, to Miami Joy in a nursery at Lingfield (1m) lastest start in August off a mark of 78.

Trainer says

She won at Beverely then was beaten a nose in a nursery at Lingfield. She runs in the valuable fillies’ nursery at Newmarket on Saturday and we will see how we go there. She is useful and she is coming back to seven furlongs which is possibly not in her favour but it is a stiff track and I love supporting courses when the put the prize money up – it’s a £40,000 nursery - and I really wanted to have a crack at it.

Form profile

Winner of one of his 7 starts and currently rated 78. Off the mark when dead heating with Bharani Star on his reappearance at Haydock (1m 3 1/2f) in June off a mark of 72.

Trainer says

He dead heated first time out at Haydock and then was a good second at Windsor. I ran him back a bit quickly the third time and it was probably just too soon, but it was a valuable race at Haydock. He has had a holiday but is back in strong work and should run in the next fortnight. A mile and a half and mile six with a bit of ease in the ground will suit.

Form profile

Winner of two of his 16 starts and currently rated 67 (AW) and 64 turf. Finished eighth of 10, beaten three and three quarter lengths, to Global Hope at Yarmouth (6f) this month off a mark of 67.

Trainer says

He is a frustrating horse – he is an exceptional work horse and I mean exceptionally good, but we don’t really see it on the racecourse that often. He did win a couple of runs back. He might run in an amateur riders’ race for my daughter in about ten days’ time. He has been dropped 3lb on the turf but is a frustrating horse.

Form profile

Winner of one of her five starts and currently rated 74. Off the mark latest start at Lingfield (1m 3 1/2f) this month when scoring by a length and a quarter from September Power off a mark of 70.

Trainer says

She got her head in front at Lingfield last time and she has come out of that race well. Again, she will have possibly one more run on the Flat then will go Juvenile hurdling.

Form profile

Winner of his only start to date when beating Elusive Artist three and three quarter lengths at Chelmsford (7f) this month.

Trainer says

He won well on his debut at Chelmsford a couple of week ago. We haven’t done much with him since, but we will work him and see where we might go with him. I think he is very useful, and I would imagine we would stick with him over seven furlongs at the minute. He shows a lot of pace, but I think he would get a mile next year.

Form profile

Winner of one of his 6 starts and currently rated 83. Off the mark with a neck success from Daafr at Chelmsford (1m) this month off a mark of 80.

Trainer says

He got his head in front at Chelmsford which I think he thoroughly deserved. He is in at Haydock on Friday and I hope it doesn’t get too soft up there, but we will see what the weather does. He is a colt we have always liked, and he was run two solid races since we had his wind done. I think he is a horse with a lot more progression in him and he won’t jump this season and he will come back for the next Flat season.

Form profile

No wins from 3 starts and currently rated 67. Best effort when runner-up, beaten two and three quarter length, to Nash Nasha in a novice at Lingfield (1m) in August.

Trainer says

She disappointed me last time at Windsor, but the ground was very loose and Hollie Doyle who rode her said she couldn’t handle it at all. She will run in a nursery in the next fortnight and just wants good ground or the All-Weather.

Form profile

Winner of three of his 5 starts and currently rated 90. Winner of his first two races this season beating Maori Knight a head off a mark of 81 at Haydock (1m 2f) in June and then scoring by half a length from Indigo Lakes when stepped up to a mile and a half at that course later that month. Having first races since when well beaten in the Melrose Handicap at York in August (1m 6f) off his current mark.

Trainer says

He is due to run at Haydock on Friday as well. He was very progressive until disappointing at York, but it was at a time when mine weren’t really firing. We have given him a little break and I have been very happy with his work. He will go to Haydock over a mile and six and I hope he will run very well.

Form profile

No wins from 2 starts and currently rated 74. Promise both starts and finished third, beaten a length and a quarter, to Fancy Man latest at Haydock (7f) in July.

Trainer says

He is a lovely colt and he has had his two runs. The form of his Haydock race has worked out very well and the winner of that is a Hannon horse who is now a listed winner. He had a bad bout of ringworm a couple of weeks ago which has just held me up. I would like to get one more run into him this season but it’s not the end of the world if we don’t. I think he is a horse with a big future.

Form profile

Winner of three of his 24 starts and currently rated 99 on the Flat. Finished third, beaten three and a half lengths, to Alfaatik on his reappearance at York (1m 4f) in August off a mark of 98 and runner-up, beaten half a length, to Laafy at Ascot (1m 4f) this month off the same mark.

Trainer says

He has been running very well and as narrowly beaten at Ascot a couple of weeks ago. I think the plan is to take him to Haydock on Saturday and stepping up to a mile and six which should suit. I would hope he would run very well.

Form profile

No wins from 3 starts and currently rated 94. Best effort when fifth, beaten four and a quarter lengths, to Nando Parrado in the Group 2 Coventry Stakes at Royal Ascot (6f) in June.

Trainer says

He was fifth at Royal Ascot and he hasn’t been quite right for a while. We have had a few bad scopes off him, but he is just back cantering and I would love to run him if I can. I will make sure he is right before I do but he is a horse with a lot of ability.

Form profile

No wins from 12 starts and currently rated 69. Has run well in three starts on the Flat this season and finished second, beaten three quarters of a length, to Mere Anarchy latest at Salisbury (1m 6f) this month off a mark of 67.

Trainer says

He was narrowly beaten at Salisbury a couple of week ago and he looked all over the winner and possibly hit the front a bit soon. He just ran around in front a little bit, but I would like to find one on the Flat for him before he goes back hurdling.

Form profile

Winner of nine of his 29 starts and currently rated 111 on the Flat. Highly progressive this year and completed a four timer when beating Chipiron four lengths in a conditions event at Kempton (2m 1/2f) in February. Creditable effort when last seen out in the Northumberland Plate at Newcastle (2m 1/2f) in June when fifth, beaten two and a half lengths, to Caravan Of Hope off a mark of 107.

Trainer says

Rainbow Dreamer had a marvellous winter and won four on the bounce. He is now on a career high and has been put up to 111. He had a late summer holiday and just had his first canter back on Wednesday morning. We will be training him for the All-Weather staying races this winter.

Form profile

Winner of eight of his 48 starts and currently rated 102. Gained his most prestigious success in the Duke Of Edinburgh Handicap at Royal Ascot (1m 4f) in June when beating Deja half a length off a mark of 97.

Trainer says

He was another to win at Royal Ascot but has been a little frustrating since. He travelled very well at Newbury the other day and looked sure to be involved and still ran well but he’s not the biggest and 10st might have been a burden for him. He is hard to catch right and hard to predict but very good on his good days.

Form profile

Winner of three of her 22 starts and currently rated 77. Returned to winning form on her reappearance at Chepstow (1m 4f) in July when scoring by three and three quarter lengths from Ascot Day off a mark of 70.

Trainer says

She has really been kept back for my daughter to ride. She was third at Catterick the other day under topweight and there are not many races around for her at the minute amateur-wise so we may have to go back into the professional division. She is well and will probably run again in the next fortnight over a mile and a half to a mile six probably.

Form profile

Winner of two of his 8 starts and currently rated 99. Finished runner-up, beaten two and three quarter lengths, to Emissary in a handicap at Yarmouth (1m 3 1/2f) this month off his current mark.

Trainer says

He was second the other day at Yarmouth and did nothing wrong. He will run in the Old Rowley Cup at Newmarket which I won with Trueshan last year and that will then be him for the season.

Form profile

Winner of three of his 18 starts and currently rated 79. Scoring for the third time this season when beating Rock of Fame four lengths at Bath (1m 3 1/2f) at the beginning of the month off a mark of 73.

Trainer says

She has enjoyed a good season and won three out of four. She possibly just found the ground a bit lively at Yarmouth last week – she wasn’t beaten far but we are just freshening her up at the moment. She will probably have another run on the Flat when the ground eases and then we will go jumping.

Form profile

Winner of six of his 10 starts and currently rated 109. Has won two of his four starts this season and landed a conditions event at Salisbury (1m 6f) this month by a length from Withhold.

Trainer says

He has had a marvellous season and it was good to see him get his head back in front when he won the Persian Punch the other day. He is due to step up in class and go for the two-miler at Ascot on British Champions Day and it’s then a question as to whether we go jumping or keep him back for the Flat next year.

Form profile

Winner of 11 of 46 starts and currently rated 105 on the Flat. Gained his most prestigious success when landing the Queen Alexandra Stakes at Royal Ascot (2m 5 1/2f) in June by a neck from The Grand Visir.

Trainer says

He is having a holiday right now and won’t have a run on the Flat again this year. He will go hurdling but he’s been a legend and won the Queen Alexandra at Royal Ascot for us.
